October is full of opportunities to pause, connect, and recharge before exams.

This month you can look forward to:

• Creative workshops like the Wishing Star Wānanga, Kueh Nagasari Workshop, and Pronoun Badge Making.

• Connection spaces including Social Yarns, Book Club, Rainbow Connections Café, and the Adult Students’ Meet-up.

• Wellbeing activations such as Connect Zone, Study Break events, and the Navigator Drop-In.

• Special highlights: Mental Health Awareness Week, the ShakeOut earthquake drill (with free milkshakes!), and the Rūawhetū Hauora Market.

All events take place in The Living Room (next to the bookshop) unless otherwise noted – a welcoming space open weekdays from 9am–4pm where you can relax, connect, or take time out between classes.
